Thousands of satisfied users benefit daily from this powerful tool. Typical PROFIBUS failures such as noise, reflections, voltage
drops, termination problems, double addresses, wire breaks and configuration faults are easily and quickly identified. As a
result, PROFIBUS faults can be quickly resolved which results in higher uptime. ProfiTrace boosts the capabilities of service,
maintenance and engineering technicians.
Message Recording
The message recording provides an overview with records messages. When the user records
messages, he has a perfect visual representation on the screen.
Network Condition
The statistics matrix and network condition indicator are the most powerful features of
ProfiTrace. These fields can really tell what the condition of the installation is without doing
difficult operations.
Live List
The Live List is a matrix that continuously lists all the available devices. It is directly visible which
devices are ‘troublemakers’. With different background colors, the status of the devices is
displayed.
